Rep. Beth Van Duyne: "Every American should be excited about what we're building in our 250th year."

Rep. Brandon Gill: "Illegal immigration drove up your home prices 30% and rent 20% under Biden. While you got priced out, your federal government was handing out taxpayer-backed mortgages to illegal aliens."

Gov. Greg Abbott: "One year ago today, more than 100 lives were cut short in Kerr County and even more across Central Texas due to devastating flash floods. Tonight, I joined the Symphony of the Hills and read the names of 119 lost souls. We must never forget them.”

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez: "As extreme weather and flooding become more prevalent in South Texas, we must invest in a more resilient stormwater management infrastructure to save lives and protect our homes and businesses."
